Artisan Golf launches website and online store
Artisan Golf has unveiled its brand new website and online store, that is sure to make many of our members happy.
Speaking on the unveiling of their new website, longstanding golf-club makers and Artisan founders Mike Taylor and John Hatfield stated
“We believe in creating a personal relationship with each and every player. Each product we offer is machined, polished, finished, and assembled by our small team of industry veterans after meeting and consulting with each player.”
The process of ordering your clubs from Artisan Golf will be a little different than your usual online purchases. For wedges, consumers will need to complete a “wedge inquiry form” which will have to be filled out with contact information and the product you wish to purchase.
The wedges are made for right-handed players only and range from 45-61 degrees. The forged carbon steel wedges, which are handcrafted by Mike Taylor himself, are “Made to order after consultation with each player. Due to the custom nature of our products, there is a wait list for new players.”
John Hatfield handcrafts the putters which are multi-material constructions that use titanium and tungsten. Hatfield provides four different models: a 0117 (square-bumper blade), a 0217 (saddleback bumper blade), a 0318 (square mallet) and a 0418 (round mallet), all of which are available, per their website, in both right and left-handed models.
On each putter order, the customer chooses their preferred head shape, hosel, milling depth on the face, hand polish, sightline, finish, stamping customization, specs and head cover, with prices starting at $900.
Each product contains its own serial number which aims to make re-orders and modifications a simple process.
“Each club we make is identified with a serial number which includes your lifetime player number. This player number is tied to your build folder in our archives and tells us exactly what we have made for you. This makes reordering or modifying specs simple.”
Custom head covers and hats are also available from Artisan Golf’s website.

WITB Time Machine: Paul Casey’s winning WITB, 2019 Valspar Championship
At the 2019 Valspar Championship, Englishman Paul Casey took the trophy at the Copperhead Course for the second year in a row. On a difficult Sunday, Casey’s 1-over 72 was good enough for a one-stroke victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Jason Kokrak as Dustin Johnson faltered.
Check out Casey’s clubs from five years ago below.
Driver: TaylorMade M4 (10.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70 TX (tipped 1 inch)
3-wood: TaylorMade M1 (15 degrees)

Irons: Mizuno MP-25 (3), Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro (4), Mizuno MP-5 (5-PW)

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM7 (52-08F, 56-10S), Vokey Proto (60)
Shaft: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 X
Putter: Scotty Cameron Circle T 350-SSS
Grip: Scotty Cameron Matador
Grips: Golf Pride ZGrip Cord Midsize

Mizuno’s Senior Club Engineer, Chris Voshall told us Casey’s somewhat surprising setup in his long irons is simply the product of Casey hitting the windows he wants to with the particular clubs in question.
“It’s all based on the height of the ball flight,” Voshall said. The MP-25 3-iron was more penetrating and better for him off the tee, so he kept it in there.”

The “newcomer” who made Tiger’s wedges for over 10 years can be trusted because he has a beer gut and lives in Texas. Got it.

Priced themselves right out of it for me.
And these putters are very “Machine” like. Nothing new or special. You could order a Machine putter with whatever interchangeable parts your heart desired.

These guys look like they’ve never walked a golf course in their life. Taking “everything is big in Texas” too much to heart. They look like they might croak tomorrow from too many beers and ribs.
Can’t be trusted lol

You realize they founded this company after Nike Golf ceased production, right? They built Nike Golf and made all of Tigers clubs.
